5 star - I use for small quanity
The unit is easy to use, convenient. Cord wrap up is great. Nice size to sit on your cabinet. I use for grinding my Flax Seeds I take daily for health. It's the perfect size for daily usage to grind the flax seeds. Excellent for small quanity .

I'm buying a 2nd one!
I love this coffee grinder. It's compact and the cord winds up inside of it. It makes for very easy storage. It's also very easy to clean. There is no reason to purchase an expensive grinder when this does just as good of a job. I'm buying a 2nd one to grind up spices.

Great Grinder for the Price
I see people complaining about this grinder being too small... uh, it's SUPPOSED to be small! That would be like buying an 18-wheeler tractor trailer and cab and then complaining that the truck was too big!!!

Anyway, for a small grinder, this thing is great. I use it not only for coffee, but for flax seeds and just about anything else I need to grind up in small quantities. If you often find yourself wanting to grind a pound of coffee, then *obviously* this is too small for you though.

Wonderful grinder
I too read all the reviews... I spent several hours, so let me save you the trouble. This item is sturdy, washable, compact, and grinds beans for anywhere from 4-12 cups of coffee.

I use it for both my 2 cup french press and my percolator, when my mill & brew coffee maker, which I have two carafs and 3 baskets for, is busy. We really get into coffee here - I must have 10 varieties of beans in the freezer.

It also did a fabulous job grinding hazelnuts very fine for a cookie dough where the hazelnuts were, in effect, part of the flour.

I do love that the grinder basket and top can go in the dishwasher, and the little brush that is stowed on the back is a thoughtful and utilized addition.

The only drawback would be that if you are only making 2 cups of coffee and you want a course grind, you have to let the machine think you're making 8 cups, by moving the cup setting, as this machine is intended to grind beans for a minimum of 4 cups. When I make enough coffee for my percolator, I can get an intermediate course grind with no problem.

What sold me was this: After I read all the reviews I went to my local "megamart," found the grinders, opened up the boxes of the makes I wanted to compare, and I literally took things apart and put them back together.

Like another reviewer warned, stay away from those other grinders with the tiny (you can barely see them) plastic pins that engage the start button. Once those bits of plastic break off, you're SOL.

This is a very reasonably priced maker which I've had for 6 months. I love it so much, that for much of that time I've felt just a bit guilty that I hadn't yet praised this maker on Amazon. With that done - it's time to grind some beans. :) Enjoy.

PS: It looks very pretty/handsome on the counter.

Love to GRIND baby!
This is the best coffee grinder I have purchased (it is my 3rd over the past 10 years). This one is the best for multiple reasons 1) I dont have to continue to hold the button while it grinds, I hit the button once and it grinds and stops when the coffee is perfectly ground. 2) It has a deep container for holding the ground beans. Before I could only grind a small amount and than when I removed the lid it would be messy. 3) It has several different grinds to choose from all the way to a very fine espresso 4) It is styling and has a great hide away area for the cord.

What else is there? It is perfect.

Gets the Job done-
I bought this as a gift for my husband-after reading a hundred reviews, I made my choice. This little machine doesn't do anything fancy- it grinds beans-we haven't used it for anything else since we bought it to grind beans. It does a great job-it's easily put together, nothing spills, it's easily used-not much else to say.

   

Capresso 555.01 Burr Grinder Select, Black
From Capresso

• Amazon Sales Rank: #243308 in Kitchen & Housewares
• Color: Black
• Brand: Capresso
• Model: 555.02
• Dimensions: 6.90" h x 8.50" w x 11.80" l, 3.50 pounds

By precisely grinding coffee beans at any of 17 degrees of coarseness or fineness this electric grinder makes it possible to enjoy full-flavored espresso, drip, French press, and percolator coffee in moments. The grinder has a portion-control container that sends enough beans into the grinder for two cups each time the container's lid is turned a "click." Two clicks means enough for four cups and so on up to eight clicks for 16 cups. The container is removable so beans can be stored in the refrigerator. A bowl beneath the container accepts already-ground coffee to be further ground according to preference by turning the grind-selector dial to one of the 17 positions. The container into which ground coffee flows can be removed for pouring out the coffee. The burr grinding wheel also removes for easy cleaning. With the portion-control container in place, the grinder, clad in black plastic, measures 11-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack

From a Satisfied Customer...
After reading complaints of the mess the 551.01 grinder made for some people, I decided to go with the latest Capresso model hoping that lessons were learned from past mistakes. I was happy to find that coffee grounds are deposited neatly into a removeable containter. The 555.01 produces consistantly even grounds with 17 adjustable settings for fineness. The portion container is a handy feature that allows one to grind for the exact number of cups of coffee only (espresso drinkers will have to experiment to get proper amounts). For those wanting to mix different beans together, the portion container can be detached to feed beans directly into the grinder. Despite this convenience, I found myself grinding more beans for future use because of the hassle of cleaning the machine. The portion container and grinder wheel can easily be removed and washed, but the base unit has to be scrubbed and wiped down separately so the electrical parts aren't exposed to water. Capresso, however, had the thoughtfulness to include a small brush to clean the grounds spout with. Many will also find the grinder to be rather loud, but noise is not a factor for me.

Capresso 555.01 is a nice grinder...
I think this grinder really rates more like 4.5 stars, but since that isn't a choice I only gave it 4. I've now used it 4 times, and I need to debunk some of the the earlier complaints that I've seen. I'll compare this with the several Braun burr grinders I've worn out over the last 15 years or so.

1. The lid is no more loose than that of any other coffee grinder I've used, but it is a snap-on lid withour a latch. The portion container itself, however, does latch. The portion container can be removed entirely, and an extra included lid can then be used, thus turning the grinder into a model 554.01.

2. There is LESS problem with static and fine coffee, again comparing this grinder to the Braun burr grinders I've used for years. This is partly due to the fact that the Capresso does a much quicker job of grinding than my various Brauns did even when new. Less rubbing and bouncing around equals less static electricity. Tip: to almost totally eliminate the static problem grind your coffee a half hour before you need it. The static bleeds off rapidly.

3. This grinder is much, much quieter than the Brauns that I've used. No contest.

4. The ground coffee receptacle pours easily, if you pour from the narrow ends rather than the wide side.

I like this grinder. The only gripe I have is about the rapid buildup of caked coffee on the exit(nozzle?) from the grinder to the receptacle. I knock it loose after every grinding.

A great grinder at a great price...
After using my Capresso espresso machine for a couple of weeks, I realized I needed a burr grinder. The espresso machine is very sensitive to the grind - I guess I was lucky at first that the grocery store grinder provided the precise grind needed.

After a lot of research - I learned more than I wanted to know about blade grinders vs. burr grinders - I decided this was the machine for me. I'm glad I did.

Some complained about the noise and the mess. True coffee lovers realize this is the nature of the beast. It's messy and loud, but not more than any other grinder. This grinder is actually less messy than my previous Krupps grinder. I've learned that putting a paper towel under the grinder before grinding catches a lot of the rogue grounds.

The taste of coffee and espresso is much better using freshly ground beans. If you want to experience great coffee, I suggest using Capresso products. They truly know the art making a great cup of java.

   

Baratza Virtuoso Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

• Amazon Sales Rank: #133790 in Kitchen & Housewares
• Dimensions: 14.00" h x 5.00" w x 6.00" l, 12.00 pounds

Does a beautiful job, but I wonder about the quality for the high price
I've been using this for three weeks. It grinds gorgeously and you can choose how fine/coarse you want the grind. I put it at 16 for my drip coffee.

It's easy to use if you don't have some hand issues (ie, arthritis). Anyone with hand/joints issues, this has no handle to pull out the container that holds the ground coffee. You have to grasp it by the edges and pull, which can be hard for some folks.

The only reason I worry about the quality is that the little knob that you turn to choose how long it will grind has already fallen off once. No biggie. I put it back in. But a grinder THIS expensive should not have loose parts coming off after only 2 weeks of use. So, I'll be a bit anxious about how long it will work effectively and intact.

Still, I'm happy with how it works so far, just not so happy that I'd give it a perfect score.

I was disappointed with this grinder
I just want it relate my experience with this grinder. I read the reviews and decided on it and order it. It arrived damaged. I called their number but got a recording and the recording used a different company name than Baratza. The message didn't even say leave a message at the tone but just "bye". I did leave a message and my phone number though. I waited all day and never got a call back. I email them and within 4 hours I go an email that a replacement had been shipped. It arrived and they sent a return UPS label to send the other one back. The problem with the first one was the hopper was crooked at an angle from an inpact in shipment I suppose. There was a worse problem inside. The cheap plastic calibration ring which holds the top grind burr and hopper base is held in place by three small plastic tabs about 1/32" thick and 1/8". Two of these were broken and the top grinding burr was at an angle causing an elliptical rotation which gave an inconstant grind. The replacement had one of these tabs broken also. I think it is just a result of a poor design for that part. The grinder on the whole is well constructed like a army tank but that design flaw and the lack of some feature like not being able to set a grinding time and the timer being on the side plus the fact that you can't actually talk to a human being with them, at least I couldn't. I tried two different numbers and never got a response. I even emailed them my home phone and cell phone numbers. I emailed through Amazon for a refund and didn't hear from them for two business days and then that was I think as a result of a phone call to Amazon and a second email through Amazon at the customer service rep's request. I then hear from them in a few hours and they sent me a return label by email and issued me a full refund even before I return the second grinder. I can't fault how they stood behind there return policy only to say you can only contact them on their terms and you can't talk to a human. If I could have spoken to a person and resolved my problem I would have keep the grinder. I am glad it worked out the way it did because I bought the Breville BCG450XL from Amazon for half the price and it is a much better conical burr grinder. See my review on it.

   

KitchenAid BCG100ER Blade Coffee Grinder, Empire Red
From KitchenAid

One of the secrets to fabulous coffee is grinding the beans yourself, releasing the oils and flavor right before brewing. With your own grinder you can also control the fineness of the grind, another important element in the coffee equation - too fine and you'll end up with bitter sediment in your cup, too coarse and your coffee will be weak and insipid. Enjoy KitchenAid performance and reliability with this fine grinder.

• Amazon Sales Rank: #140638 in Kitchen & Housewares

• Brand: KitchenAid
• Model: BCG100ER
• Dimensions: 5.60" h x 5.80" w x 9.90" l, 2.30 pounds

Coffee devotees know that an efficient grinder can be the secret to a great cup of joe. This model from KitchenAid delivers efficiency and more--from an oversized bowl to dishwasher-safe materials. Powered by a 200-watt motor, the grinder features a permanently attached stainless-steel blade that mills beans quickly and thoroughly. A generous four ounces, the brushed stainless-steel bowl is mounted to the motor housing with a clockwise turn and etched with handy reference markings. The machine turns on when you push down on the clear polycarbonate cover and off again when it's released. As a protective feature, the grinder only operates when the top is in place, so fingers are never exposed to moving blades. Solid and attractive, the grinder is also designed for frequent use and is easy to clean. Both its bowl and top cover go in the dishwasher, while the rest wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Emily Bedard

excellent grinder, attractive color
I am extremely happy with this grinder. It does a good
job grinding, and the grinding mechanism is easy to take off
and put in the dishwasher. It also comes in empire
red, which matches my other KitchenAid appliances.

Unlike my previous bean grinder (a braun), this machine
is large enough to grind enough coffee for a 12-cup machine in one go.

I agree with the previous reviewer -- I have only had
problems with the grinds leaking out when I overfill
the machine. It has a Maximum Fill line, and if you
put beans above this line it will leak.

10 star gen This is a brand I highly recommend
We bought this in the red which is such a vibrant colour. I consider this the Mercedes of coffee grinders, and we have owned a few other brands. In fact we bought a new De Longhi coffee machine and it came with one of their coffee grinders that didn't work after the fourth try. Seems the motor burned out. So as a birthday gift for my husband I ordered this coffee grinder, which was on back order (that was the only negative) but it finally arrived.

It is much quieter than the other grinders we have used, and I like the steel mechanism and that healthy size over cup that you press down on to trigger the grinder. The appliance looks so nice on the counter that I hated to stick it away.

I should note that I own most of the KitchenAid counter appliances, as well as the bottle opener, basting brush, spatulas etc. and buy this brand because it is excellent and I have yet to be disappointed.

And in the process of designing and building a new zen style home, we are making sure that the kitchen is designed so that the KitchenAid appliances we own are easy access since we cook and entertain a lot and feel proud to have this brand in our home.

Great Grinder
There is little fly away of ground coffee, as suggested in other reviews. I shake the machine whilst grinding to ensure an even grind. It works well for the fine grind needed for a cone filter as well as for the coarser grind for the press pot. It looks solid and looks good on the countertop. I use a little brush to get the grounds out of the grinder, thus avoiding taking off the stainless steel cup each time. Oh, the large capacity is really nice too. I had a burr grinder for a bit of time, but I burnt it out. I'm not going back, because I did not find them reliable. This KitchenAid has been just great, and I highly recommend it!
